That was a great freekick by Bastos. Brazil winning 2-0. Robinho scored the other goal with a nice finish from a great ball by Maicon. Melo is playing.

The French Football Federation has suspended all 23 members of France's World Cup squad for their next game.

New France coach Laurent Blanc requested that no member of the squad be selected for a friendly against Norway in Oslo on 11 August.

France failed to win any of their three group games in South Africa.

The campaign included a training strike by the players in support of Nicolas Anelka, who was sent home for insulting coach Raymond Domenech.

Blanc said: "I obviously cannot act as if nothing had happened in South Africa.

"I followed the events with sadness, I was disappointed with the sporting results and I was shocked by certain behaviours.

"I will integrate these elements into my analysis and my thoughts. I always had the principles, rules of conduct and not just in my sporting life. They have not changed and I will not change."

Could someone explain to me why a coach would welcome back to his squad two players who went on a drunken rampage when on Scotland duty, and then make offensive gestures to the nation at large when on the bench, and two players who have refused to play for their country in the past, but is now saying a player who withdrew from the current squad due to injury will not be called up again if he plays for his club tomorrow?

Bosnia is also playing today. I'll watch the first half there and then switch to Italy.
There are some interesting players I'd like to see. The Bosnian coach is one of my all time favorite players and he's apparently going to play a 4-2-1-3 formation, which is ultra attacking because it has Pjanic as one of the central midfielders, Misimovic as an AMC and three strikers (Dzeko, Ibisevic and Muslimovic).

I don't know what the hell is he thinking with such formation :D
